I've listened to other learn Italian podcasts, this one combines very good instructions from the perspective of an English speaking native with the clearest
pronunciation I've heard on a podcast, and from a native Italian. Engaging and entertaining, I feel like a couple of friends. are teaching me Italian over coffee. Matteo also gives tips from the Italian perspective, when to use or not use certain phrases, etc. Many tips for preparing for our trip to Italy from a fun couple who live there.
